Versatility: Black granites fit equally well in both traditional and contemporary kitchens. Regardless of style, a black countertop can add a luxurious feel to your kitchen without forcing you into a particular color scheme.

Pros and Cons: Many of the darker granites are extra dense and less likely to absorb stains, which can make them easier to maintain. That said, dust and crumbs can stand out and black ants tend to disappear on the surface, so keeping the surface tidy can be a frequent task. If you've ever owned a black car, you know that awesome looks do require a bit more TLC.

Important Caveat: While black granite tends to be more consistent than others, most granite varies quite a bit from batch to batch. Some of these granite colors will not be available at your local yard, so stay open to new ideas and enjoy the search!
